So, the GSR/SE don't have auto on/off headlights, but if you leave the switch in the "on" position, the lights go off with the ignition. From a functional standpoint, what's the real difference between this and the auto on/off lights in the MR-T and new MR?

 

Light sensor. When you leave it on "auto", it will turn on when it's dim and off when it's bright.

 

You set it... and... FORGET IT!!!

 

I miss my auto headlights I drive through a few tunnels during the commute and usually forget to turn my headlights on. DRLs work fine though... maybe a little too much so, as I have forgotten to turn on the HIDs while in the city at night ><

 

easy, the auto turn on and off with sensitivity to light/dark, hands off mind off. turning reg ones to "on" just keeps them on all the time, light or dark. I know the lifespan on the bulbs is like a gabillion hours but I think yours will wear out a few gabillion hours sooner, as oppose to the case of having drls that are on but on a lower power setting which reduces wear.

I have autos on my ms3, they're the sh-t, but I am a simple man. : )

 

@Rashid...

This. I just leave my **** on full time. Screw it. "Auto lights" are as good as auto lights as far as I'm concerned. I forgot 'em otherwise.
